Eddy Arnold - By The Time I Get To Phoenix lyrics

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising

She'll find the note I left hanging on her door

She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leaving

Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working

She'll probably stop at lounch and give me a call

But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing

Off the wall that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleeping

She'll turn softly and call my name out low

And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her

Though time and time I've tried to tell her so

She didn't know that I would really go
